Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever” - eviltoast

How long is “forever”? When it comes to digital media, forever could be as close as a couple of months away.

Funimation, a Sony-owned streaming service for anime, recently announced that subscribers’ digital libraries on the platform will be unavailable after April 2. For years, Funimation had been telling subscribers that they could keep streaming these digital copies of purchased movies and shows, but qualifying it: “forever, but there are some restrictions.”

    yt-dlp can be used.

    I only have one purchase on Funimation, and it’s a digital version of a physical purchase.

    I’m trying to figure out the exact best options at the moment. If there’s not one yet by the time I’m ready, I’ll make a thread with my command and why I chose each option.
